Supporting registered managers

Skills for Care locality managers are central to the work of our area teams and can support registered managers across a wide range of social care workforce development activities. As well as running workshops and networking events for registered managers, locality managers can work with you to understand your organisation. They can also signpost you to relevant resources, tools and the availability of funding for learning and development. They can also share examples of best practice with you.

Our locality managers work closely with other stakeholders including the Care Quality Commission (CQC), local authorities, learning providers, and the voluntary sector and have a comprehensive picture of workforce related issues in your area such as recruitment, retention, provision of apprenticeships, training and qualifications for social care, and workforce planning. Support from locality managers can be via phone or email, and you can find out who your locality manager is by clicking on your local area link below.
